So far I can't find after market rods for it. Due to the fact that the crank is smaller than the more popular d16. I was hoping to do a build with vitaras and some after market rods, and a vtec head.

Has any one done this? Or know of aftermarket rods that will work.

searching turned up threads of this lenght

uh why not just pick up a z6 block ??? they go for maybe $20-50

i actually have a mint one for $50.. or ill even trade it for the vx one if the block is in running condition.

I would trade but I live in hawaii. I thought it would be cool to build this block if its possible. It has a good bore to stroke ratio.

I would get a z6 or a y8 but I have been having a hard time finding one in hawaii. There is no shortage of y7's I might just build one of those.

I had a built d15b7 block back in the day.. the rods were made by Crower and the Pistons made by Arias.

Pretty much whatever you do it will be cheaper to build a D16. Custom internals are $$$

vx uses the same 137mm rods.

Rods are the same length, but are smaller on the big end that connects to the crank.

Those are expensive. I guess I will just find a d16

journal sizes being different sucks, plus the z6 is pretty stout for what it is, seems to have alot more lubrication capability

I heard the JDM d15b has the same rods as d16s, so maybe get one of those for $500 if you think that the long stroke is what limits d16s, but i'd imagine the stock valve train would become a problem long before the stroke.

use a D15B crank, rods and pistons and you got a D15B sleeper.

If you want a set of the special pistons/rods, Ill sell em for a good deal; they could also be put into a Z6/Y8 as a OEM low-compression piston.

I have a crank, but ti spun a bearing and needs to be reworked; pm me with email andc info and Ill see what I can do about getting pics to you ASAP if interested.

If you wish to get rid of that Vx block, let me know as well; I have been wanting to replace my D15B block with a Vx block to throw heads off a little =P
